Figures

None
Fig. 1 Two-dimensional echocardiography (parasternal long-axis view) shows a thickened mitral valve (MV) and an extremely dilated coronary sinus (CS). Ao = aorta; DA = descending aorta; LA = left atrium; LV = left ventricle; RV = right ventricle
None
Fig. 2 Two-dimensional echocardiography (modified apical 4-chamber view) shows a dilated coronary sinus (CS). RA = right atrium; RV = right ventricle
None
Fig. 3 Color-flow Doppler echocardiography (modified apical 4-chamber view) shows tricuspid regurgitation (TR).
None
Fig. 4 Contrast echocardiography (modified apical 4-chamber view) shows air bubbles entering the right atrium (arrow) from the coronary sinus (CS). Real-time motion image is available at www.texasheart.org/journal.
